I have collected many obituaries of genealogical interest over the past twenty years.I will be posting them on this blog as time allows. The majority of these obituaries are from early Arkansas Baptist newspapers and have been transcribed as written.

Elizabeth Littlefield

Born October, 1812; died August 5, 1897. Grandmother professed faith and joined the Baptist church in early life, and lived faithful to the end. Sowing seeds of kindness, helping the needy, marked her career. She leaves six children bereaved, but not hopeless, for they are all members of the Baptist church, Her children, grandchildren and hosts of friends rise up and call her blessed. "Blessed are the dead who lie in the Lord"
R. G. Thomas
Arkansas Baptist, August 25, 1897, page 15
